Hello,
I have been trying so hard to make beef jerky the right tender soft way. I can't seem to get it right, I have a dehydrator. I've been using Prague powder #1 and vinegar to get the store like jerky feeling but it's not working. I have used baking soda which made it tender but left the bad taste. My question is how to get the beef jerky soft and tender? Also, if to do this commercially, do you have to put Sodium nitrite? or can you use Prague #2 instead? Is sodium nitrite powder? and how much would you use for how many pounds? Anyway that can help I appreciate it!
